@albadonadam Do you find the redbacks run small? Or take a while to break in? Got the same size I wear in blundstones / keens and just haven't been able to wear them a whole day yet.

@albadonadam This settles a debate around here as we've been casually shopping for one.

@dennis_fujan @bobfarms90 @FernedingFarms @Deere_Salesman Spent 15 years as an ISM before returning to primary ag. I find it's a double edge sword. I know the "system" so I try to make this easy for the provider. However I also know exactly what is possible and the high expectations that come with it.

@NDubuc @burnhamfarms @NickPloeg @tfickenscher @mcbmc_ I can see using that in some of our orchards. We have the NH TK crawler to hook it to. I definetley don't think it would be overpowered.

@RLuymes We do just what you are suggesting with a Degelman. One pass in the spring works for us. It and a shank style strip till unit are our only tillage tools.

@SavvyFarmgirl This is a Vivo stand up desk frame and an Ikea island countertop. Wasn't too bad $$ to put together. It also has never looked this clean again.

@DarrylBurnett We have motion sensors on each of the high bay LEDs in our facility. Really works well, you never walk into a dark shop and the lights turn off if no one is in that zone.

Don’t let the dirty hands and grease on our clothes fool you

Many farmers are well educated tech savvy business people who worked in other industries and chose to farm because they love it!

One week of very long days into sour cherry harvest but with a fantastic team of Trinidadian, Jamaican and local employees I'm proud to say we make it look easy. @MtaMigrantWrkr #ontag #harvest21

The fast path to low adoption of technology is predatory input subscription models.

The "microbatcher" business in dairy ( think on farm mineral manufacturing) has basically failed to grow because everyone wrapped the machine in an input subscription...

It’s STILL ILLEGAL in @NorfolkCountyCA for a certain group of international travellers (essential migrant workers) to leave their hotel for a 15 minute outdoor break for their entire 14 day quarantine……

[Dave P @davepethman]

@Pasztor79 We saw the same ... One real isolated pocket.

[Adam Ireland @albadonadam]

Bring it buddy. I’m here waiting.

[Dave P @davepethman]

@barideout @VanceCrowe My vote as well you beat me to it.

[Dave P @davepethman]

@MariekePatton Bought a smile to my face seeing them back around my place on the weekend as well!

[Dusty Zamecnik @Dustyzam]

Your daily reminder that Migrant Offshore Workers on Norfolk farms who are quarantining in hotels are not allowed to go outside for 14 or potentially up to 28 days. All thanks to one individual, the Medical Officer of Health.

[Dave P @davepethman]

@turnbullfarms1 That looks good. Seen similar online, where did you get that setup?
